This quick, easy and pretty gift bag was made using the new Cricut Art Nouveau cartridge. I love decorating gift bags! It's really easy and fun and then you can personalize it to the person's taste! This one is for my mom's birthday, which is coming up in a few weeks.

Check out the beautiful images below available on this cartridge.

I loved these beautiful tulips and thought it would make a good center focal point to my gift bag. There are such gorgeous flowers on this cartridge and they are so easy to cut! I cut the tulips at 7". The white background is actually the shadow layer for the cut. Then, I added a black border to it to make it pop.

Now, for the kicker....the bag is actually more like the purple shown below. I had to lighten the photo considerably to get it to the actual color. Don't know what it is about photographing purple but it can be tricky.

Make sure you pop on over to Melanie's blog this week because she is doing tutorials all week long using the Art Philosophy cartridge. If you wanted to know how to make those great 3D flowers you are going to want to check it out! Also, if you want to buy the Art Philosophy cartridge you can do so by clicking HERE!

Very pretty! Tulips are the prettiest flowers EVER. I always imagined carrying a tulip bouquet on my wedding day, but now knowing how much flowers cost, I'll go for the least expensive and then just cut tulips out with my Cricut, hehe.

Love the gift bag.It looks wonderful. I love the idea of getting plain bags and designing them yourself.One never has to worry if they will find the perfect bag for that special occasion.Thank you for the chance to win the cart.

It is amazing how such a plain bag can be turned into a beautiful one with just a few cuts from our beloved Bug. I didn't think I would buy this cart but have changed my mind after seeing this. I have subscribed to this blog since its first entry. Keep up the good work. I get so much inspiration from it. Also from your and Melanie's personal blogs.Thanks, Karen

You're great gift bag certainly made me take a second look at this cartridge. I didn't think it would be one that interested me when I first looked at the images. But now I see it in a whole new light.

Such a great idea and with the cost of bags or the fact that you just can't get to a store, it makes perfect sense to pretty up a plain bag that you have sitting around. Have to remember to keep some plain bags on hand, maybe from the dollar store.

You are such an enabler. I wasn't that interested in this cartridge, but now I've taken a really good look at what there is on it. Sure wish I could of had this last school year, my grandson had to do a project on the yellow-headed black bird and there is a cut on this cart with cat-tails that would of been perfect.
